Can you imagine if a white male country singer pulled the mic out of the hand of a young black female singer and did what Kanye did? The LA riots would look like a bar brawl.

I’d say it’s more that he’s an ill-mannered idiot.

Thats the way I saw it......

The redneck country CRACKER was picked over the black woman and Kanye wasn’t having it.

You see how its OK for me to say CRACKER?
Perfectly acceptable.

Nooo, ya think? Race and probably more than a little booze and drugs.

“He’s negroid. He’s a drunk. He’s a drunk negroid attacking a WHITE girl.”

Get real. There was no “attack”. Just a drunk a-hole acting out. You make it sound like he raped her.

“”””ill-mannered idiot.””””””

That is fueled by something. He wasn't born that way.

He has new money. Fame. This makes his head 10 times bigger than normal.

He is surrounded by bodygaurds all the time. Now, having served in a private security detail for a short amount of time years ago... these guards are really not there because his life is in danger. They are there to help him get around. The majority of their time is spent keeping women off of him. They keep fawning fans off of him and are basically there to clear a path so he can walk.
This creates a HUGE ego. A celebrity in this situation thinks the world revolves around him. Especially a celebrity that made all his money living a “thug” image.

Now, his private life only adds more fuel to his ego. People want to be seen with him. They beg to be a part of his circle. He doesn't have a few women.... he has DOZENS. He can snap his fingers and women rush to him and he can snap his fingers and dismiss them just as quick. All because of his money and fame.

Add to this the rapper mentality of “kill whitey” and “bitches ain't nothing but hos” and you have absolutely no remorse in making a country white girl cry.

Thing is, we don’t need to use race as a crutch to achieve our goals. This monkey Kanye is TRASH with a capital T! I admit that I am a racist, but to only people like Kanye West!

Doesn’t have to be an either/or situation. Could be both. But it WAS racial.

I just watched John Rich of Big and Rich on Sean Hannity, who was on a panel with Mickey Rourke and Michael Brown.

Rich said that here was a beatiful young woman in her white dress, having her proudest moment of her short career, and here comes this bully. He said had there been some “country boys sitting around, Kanye West would’ve had himself a serious problem”.

He also said many in the business took it as an assault against country music, because five years ago he lost to Gretchen Wilson at another award show, and he went ballistic, calling country music not real music.

Rourke said he watched the thing, and it made “smoke come out my ass”. Said it was a good thing he wasn’t there.

Obviously both of these men take it as an assault on “white” music, and the case can certainly be made.
